Alcoholics Anonymous is arguably the most significant self-help book published in the twentieth century.

The Nietzsche Canon
Schaberg describes how and why Nietzsche's books were written, when and by whom they were published, and how many copies were printed and sold, in a story set against the background of publishing practice in nineteenth-century Germany. He also establishes a genealogy of Nietzsche's works and clarifies the relationships between those works, an understanding of which is essential to any informed opinion of his philosophy.
A Patterned Past
In this comprehensive study of the rhetoric, narrative patterns, and intellectual content of the Zuozhuan and Guoyu, David Schaberg reads these two collections of historical anecdotes as traces of a historiographical practice that flourished around the fourth century BCE among the followers of Confucius. He contends that the coherent view of early China found in these texts is an effect of their origins and the habits of reading they impose. Rather than being totally accurate accounts, they represent the efforts of a group of officials and ministers to argue for a moralizing interpretation of the events of early Chinese history and for their own value as skilled interpreters of events and advisers to the rulers of the day.
